Allow inputing DNA without choosing a starting creature
Setting different times (like 5 seconds or 20 seconds)
What about lower/higher gravity?
Love it.

Components that rotate in harmonic motion and pistons (back and forth, also harmonic), because it's limiting to just use the same old rotating parts. Ability to have more legs. More save slots. More control over mutations (e.g. Max length added/taken away from arm, chance of adding new arm, max number of mutations, ability to mutate piston arms). Ability to choose the number creatures that take part and whether they have to be better than the parent to become the next parent. Different modes: cooperation-2 species work together in some way, race-get to goal as quick as you can, survival-wall of death approaches faster and faster and they must outrun it for the most distance, endurance- meet relay points at certain time intervals for as long as you can, speed round- one with the fastest max speed after set period of time wins. Also inclines and declines and slipperiness. Also, user-interference (e.g. Dropping bombs or speed-ups). Multi-event- creatures get combined score from selected multiple events and then mutate. Ability to alter wind conditions. 'Ladders' or stairs to see if they can climb up them. King of the hill- highest creature wins (as opposed to distance).
Love these ideas, too! I'll try to add in at least some of these variations. Actually, I've got piston-like limbs working (in order to make the
human figures). They tend to not do very well, though. But I'll find a way to get those in, since heck, I did the hard part of making them already.

Whoa, that's one fast creature! Also, parent option sounds like a good one. (It isn't necessarily as good as you'd expect. I find that sometimes evolution happens better when generations are allowed to get worse. Makes for more creativity.)

Ah, whoops. Your creature thinks it has fallen off, because its tail hit the bottom. Obviously not what we want, since its still alive and well. I'll check out the punch-to-the-face bug, too.

Haha, that's the most depressing childhood I can imagine for these creatures
